Lovely stuff there Edna. Merry Christmas to one & all. ps Extra special thoughts to those who have lost loved ones & friends this year. I'm still mourning my Father's passing last month & will be raising a glass of bubbles to him tomorrow. Thanks for the Monday footie chats Dad, I'll always...

Master Isaiah Rankin. Wastrel offspring of a master cobbler, who discovered the evils of strong liquer during his apprenticeship. Quickly found himself sleeping on a girder beneath Westminster Bridge: occassionally crawling out to offer a shaky shoe shine to city gents - in a desperate bid to...
